Claim: The US government was supposedly going to crack down on antifa, socialists, the left in general.

Joe Biden’s new anti-terrorism initiative classifies “anarchist violent extremists” that “oppose all forms of capitalism, corporate globalization, and governing institutions, which are perceived as harmful to society” as “domestic violent extremists.”

From Russiagate to online censorship to increased powers vested in the security state to battle "domestic extremism": it's amazing how the US Govt & DNC has succeeded in inducing parts of the left to cheer the exact weapons to be used against them if they get too threatening:
In March, I reported on the illegal involvement of the CIA in gathering data to create the new Homeland Security plan against domestic extremists. It was clear then that the targets are not just anti-authority groups on the right but also the left. Look:
In April, @lwoodhouse wrote a freelance article for my Substack -- "The Targets of Biden's War on 'Domestic Extremists' May Not Be Who You Think" -- on how they target anyone on the right or left against the ruling class. First: animal rights activists.

New US military training document calls socialists a "terrorist" ideology and lists them alongside "neo-nazis" amid Pentagon crackdown on domestic extremism, per counterterrorism training material leaked to me:
If you're military and have any info about its new domestic extremism trainings, text me at [redacted] (use Signal for security). You can remain anonymous.

U.S. MILITARY TRAINING DOCUMENT SAYS SOCIALISTS REPRESENT “TERRORIST” IDEOLOGY
A Navy training document asks, “Anarchists, socialists and neo-nazis represent which terrorist ideological category?”
Ken Klippenstein June 22 2021, 6:14 p.m.
A NAVY COUNTERTERRORISM training document obtained exclusively by The Intercept appears to conflate socialists with terrorists and lists the left-wing ideology alongside “neo-nazis.”
A section of the training document subtitled “Study Questions” includes the following: “Anarchists, socialists and neo-nazis represent which terrorist ideological category?”
While the right has been vocal with its concerns about being unfairly targeted for political opinions, media coverage of the Biden administration’s focus on domestic extremism has paid considerably less attention to what it might mean for movements on the left, including Black Lives Matter, antifa (short for anti-fascists), and the environmental movement. In fact, internal FBI documents I reported on in 2019 specifically list anarchists and environmental extremists among its counterterrorism priorities.

Physical brawling breaks out in front of the Western Conservative Summit at a Denver Hyatt after members of Antifa threatened to break my phone for reporting on their protest.
Antifa now surrounding the lobby of the Hyatt and shining retinal-burning lasers into the building. This comes after a standoff with dozens of cops
Antifa members are now banging the windows of the Denver Hyatt hosting the Western Conservative Summit. No sign of the cops on this side of the building.

Andy Ngo blames Antifa AGAIN, now for violence outside Wi Spa in LA, Internet hits back with memes
Nobody was arrested at the scene of the violence in LA but at least five people were injured and Andy Ngo blamed Antifa for it

Conservative journalist Andy Ngo claimed on Twitter on Saturday, July 3, that as demonstrators clashed outside a Koreatown spa after a transgender woman apparently disrobed in an area reserved for women, members of Antifa were responsible for the violence.
Reportedly, nobody was arrested but at least five people were injured — three by assault and battery and two by assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Nicholas Prange said one person who was assaulted sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a medical facility in a private ambulance.

And its here.

QAnon looms behind nationwide rallies and viral #SavetheChildren hashtags
Rallies planned on Facebook by QAnon supporters or sympathizers that have brought the conspiracy theory offline and into the town squares of dozens of cities in recent weeks.

All the stuff people said about how the left are the actual bootlickers that do exactly what the oppressive government wants them to do became a big meme so they had to make it seem like they were being cracked down on.
